What I had in my hand: Thraximundar and Glimpse the Unthinkable.

I only played the deck because I couldn't remember what it was, and it had 67 cards in it, so I clearly hadn't finished it and I probably wasn't even close, but now I know how well it works against a ramping deck at least. lol

Anyone else have any interesting stories?

[Leftconsin]

Flash mirror, GP Columbus '07. He wins the roll and opens with Cabal Therapy. I Force. He Misdirects. I Misdirect. He Misdirects. I think he named Flash, but I wasn't holding it. It was 3 and a half years ago, give me a break. My next turn I play Underground Sea -> Duress to take out his Flash. We both enjoy top deck mode with decks made almost purely of hand disruption for the rest of the very long game. Eventually I find the combo and enough backup to win, but it took a long, very boring while.

More recently (About late 2008) I was playing UG Thresh and my opponent was playing some elves deck with Biomantic Mastery. Game 3 turn 5 all I had was a threshed Nimble Mongoose and a Stifle in hand. He had managed to swarm me despite my countermagic. His turn 5 he starts going off and I say to him "You know what? I'm not going to concede. Do as much damage as you can. Go to town." After several massive Snake Baskets, untapping Gaea's Cradle, and drawing his library -2 cards just to stay alive he eventually plays Concordant Crossroads, Living Wishes for green Kahmal, and with a crowd of the rest of the tournament around us turns men, elves, and snakes sideways for about 1.25 million. No infinite combos.

[Lemnear]

I remember an epic game back in 2006; I played a vintage 2-headed-giant with 4 blue decks (DrainSlaver, HulkSmash (me), a Keeper and a Landstill) on the table. Then I tried to resolve an Ancestral Recall midgame and .... yeah ... at some point it went out of control. ^^

All 4 of us start cantrip'n and countering for counterings sake, leaving a 17 (!!!!) spell stack including 2 Ancestrals, 6 Force of Will, some Mana drains and some draw/removal spells on the table.

Xp

[Angelfire]

My opponent goes first. Drops Manabond, drops 5 more lands onto the table and says go. I go Chrome Mox, Ancient Tomb Magus of the Moon. Player Lost.

I also won a game where my opponent had Worship, Story Circle, 2 Mother of Runes, Dawn Elemental, Voice of All and other things that prevent him from losing. I am playing Angel Stompy and simply play defense hoping he makes a number of mistakes at some point. I eventually draw into Cataclysm, but I can't use it yet or else he will still have me on lock. I wait until I have an absurd amount of lands out. I float something like 13 mana and cast Cataclysm. He doesn't make ideal sac choices and I re-establish some kind of board. I then cast Parallax Wave. He responds by giving one of his guys pro white. I swords it in response and start to go to town. He can't recover from Cataclysm and is quickly beat down by a Serra Avenger carrying something like Jitte (: This was like a 1 hour game on MWS.

[GGoober]

This is taken from a friend at our local playgroup, but I think has been one of the most hilarious plays I've heard.

He's playing a metagame deck (against control and merfolks) so it was like Bant with Show and Tell Emrakul with Summoning Traps maindeck.

He: Forest Hierarch
Opponent: Vial

He: "Crap did not draw a land..." Taps forest Hierarch, Plays a Goyf.
Opponent: Dazes
He: Summoning Trap flips Emrakul
Opponent: WTF?
He: Plays Island.
Opponent: ragequit

Lol!

[Gaius Darkfire]

This was during a three-way Time Spiral sealed pack (me and two friends free for all, we each had a pack and 2 of each basic shuffled in). My pack was pretty crappy, so they fought each other while I amassed lands and shitty creatures. One friend kills the other and will kill me next in one turn. I have nothing in hand and the rare I pulled was junk. I draw my card, and a smile cracks on my face as I play Coalition Victory to win the game.

[kiblast]

Today I had a long game versus a friend of mine, I'm playing Landstill UWx and he's playing UBG Faeries. The game stalls when I have Humility and Elspeth on the battlefield but he's got Jitte and Bitterblossom. I eventually menage to get an EE, clear the board and we both have 3 cards in library. I would have lost because I didn't have enough blockers (after EE@ 2 he drops 3 Goyfs and he has some 1/1 faeries), but I draw Standstill, cast it, then play WoG. He draws 3, and can't draw on his next draw step ^^.

[Kuma]

I'm playing Aeon Bridge against an unknown blue deck. I cast Show and Tell, he lets it resolve. I put down Emrakul, the Aeons Torn, he puts down Hive Mind. On his turn he casts Pact of the Titan and Pact of Negation on his Pact of the Titan. The spectators start chirping.

"Oooh, Ben, he got you good. You lose!"

Me: "No, I don't."

"Yes you do, you have to play the spells."

Me: "I know."

I Pact of Negation his Pact of Negation and put a 4/4 onto the battlefield, then he passes turn.

"You lose, Ben, you have to pay for the copies."

Me: "No, I don't. Stifle both triggers, attack for 19."

The spectators go nuts. He dies to his own Pact of the Titan trigger.

[Atwa]

A while back, a friend and me bought some Onslaught precons and started to improve those decks with the cards we already had. This resulted in me playing Elves with 4 Wellwishers, 4 Seeker of Skybreak and 4 Wirewood Lodges and him playing W/B Clerics with 4 Heedless Ones, 4 Vile Deacons and 4 Mother of Runes.

We started to play a game which resulted in a 3.5 hour battle to the death. Each turn I could generate a couple of hundered lives, which he could leach with his unblockable Deacons and Ones. I started to calculate and knew I could deck him if he didn't draw a removal spell that turn (this was when we both had 20 ish cards in out library). Unfortunatly, he drew his final Profane Prayers and got rid of one of my Wellwishers. From this point onwards he could snoop a dozen or so more life from me then I could generate each turn and he killed me after drawing his last card. Worst part is that I had an out (Voice of the Woods and lots of Elemental Tokens), which I had to think about for like 10 minutes only to have my little brother who was watching in awe at the game point out the Crawlspace my friend played turn 2.....

Maybe not that funny, but still one of the most epic games ever.

Another time I was playing a casual game against another friend of mine. I had him pretty much locked down on the board and since I only had like 20 cards left in my library, I decided I wanted to kill him after drawing my last card. Yeah, we had this rule you can't concede and I wanted to play like a dick, the guy had just opened a Rishadan Port from buying 1 pack, the best I got was a Cho-Manno in 14 packs.

Anyway, I take 20 turns, playing a bunch of creatures while I had every creature in his deck pinned down with Pacifisms and Arests and drew my last card. At this time I have 3 Counterspells in my hand, so I'm pretty confident about the situation. My friend tells me to get it over with already (like he did the last 15 turns), so I swing for the win and the following sequence takes place. He: Lull, Me: Counterspell. He: Lull, me Counterspell. He: Lull, me Counterspell. He lays down his 4th Lull, starts to grin at me and extends his hand.

We played this sequence in like 4 seconds. It took me like 30 to regain my temper. Man I was angry at that moment.

[Zappa]

May not be humurous to any but it was to me, or maybe I should find it sad... i'm confused now.

But one of my matches that I find funny was when I was playing my dredge vs ANT (or TES forgot which).

Game 1:
He spent like 5 minutes staring at my turn 1 tireless tribe for and keeps staring at the number of cards in my hand for some unknown reason. He then played Infernal tutor and revealed an LED to be tutored for. He then passed the turn and he got hit with mutiple cabal therapies with me starting with his LED. He slammed his fist on the table and got really mad.

Game 2:
He played Empty the Warrens creating 10 1/1 tokens and passed the turn. My turn I chain dredged and dread returned an Ancestor's Chosen, boosting my life total to over 40+ while creating four 2/2 zombies. He was like "what the hell is this?!" slammed the table really hard, and walked out of the building very angry. Just left his deck there and didn't talk to me at all. x_x"

[Justin]

Bad combo players have some of the worst sportsmanship that I've seen (note that I said bad combo players. The good ones are usually very civil). They choose a a deck that can do "unfair" things, but they get emotional if someone does the same to them or brings in sideboard hate to beat their deck. There's a lot of hypocrites like this on MWS.

[MULocke]

It's the Top 8 of a Vintage tournament. I'm playing Oath vs Tezz back in the day when Mana Drain Tezz was tier 1. I knw he has misdirection, and (if memory serves), he blew me out with a misdirect on my ancestral in the swiss. In the top 8, I mull to 6 and he goes to 5 (I'm on the play). I have Ancestral and Force, but not much else. I'm good, I've got the force right? 4 of his 5 cards are Misdirection, Force, blue card, blue card. Yeah, I lost that one.

Toying with an opponent like a dick and then losing is always well deserved.

Many years ago... my cousin got me to 1 life and refused to finish the job. He was playing White Weenie, I was playing mono-blue Wizards. I eventually drew a Wash Out and then proceeded to bash with a 7/7 Cephalid Constable returning every permanent he owned to his hand. To make things sweeter I was sitting on a Patron Wizard completely locking him out of the game. However, I did not toy with him, just lots of shit talking and beatdown.

[dahcmai]

I had a hand with a vintage Zoo deck that actually enabled me to drop 2 Serindib Efreets and an Ernham Djinn on the first turn all at once. It was several uses of a Lotus off Timetwister, Wheel, and a Hurkyll's. The opponent just had to laugh. It was just ridiculous for a Zoo deck to do that and probably used up my supply of luck for a year.

[ivanpei]

I was playing Type 4 stack? Its something like mental magic where you draw cards and can use any card in magic with the same mana cost. You can play stuff face down as land to make any colour mana. No tutor effects allowed.

I get turn 1 fastbond, flop a bunch of lands (memorize the lands that I face-downed), cast fact of fiction, drew some cards, GUSH returning my 4BB card to my hand, dark ritual, yawgmowths bargain. Start drawing shitloads or cards. Play a bunch of draw spells and facing down lands, MIND's desire for like 8, play crap like healing salve as an ancestral recall, eternal witness my gush, GUSH my 1R card back to my hand, grapeshot for 20++ killing one guy because I couldn't find the 2BB card for tendrils OR a 1U card to mill the whole stack so they both die when I pass the turn (We are all drawing from the same deck). :(. By that time I had crap loads of cards in hand but was at 1 life, I would have gone off again the next turn when all my lands untapped. I have the counterspell for whatever burn the surviving player might have. He has a tarmogoyf (apparently mox- tarmogoyf was a good play turn 1 play in his opinion, we all got a good laugh at the noob) but I have the witness as a blocker. He casts something like berserk/rancor to kill me. I counter. He casts lightning bolt... I lose. What an epic fail after spending a 30 minute turn -_-

What was Ironic is that we were laughing at the noob for going Turn 1 tarmogoyf and that its such a terrible play, but I still lose to a crappy tarmogoyf + rancor and a lightning bolt. LOL

[Nonex]

Back when IGG used to run Leyline of the Void MD, we rolled a die to see who would start, drew 7, and I dropped a Leyline before starting the game. My opponent stared at the Leyline for a moment and said "game 2" while shuffling his hand in his deck again. He was playing Dredge.

[practical joke]

Playing a 6-player EDH game. at some point the following happened.

"timesifter",
someone gets a turn,
"cataclysm"
"adarkar valkyri targets big fat elephant"

in play:

a few lands, some elephant tokens, timesifter, multani, norin the wary, adarkar valkyrie and a few SDT's

Getting turns was pretty epic, especially if you could swing with a multani.



More Epic games:
reanimate vs counterbalance.

Entomb, resolve (T1)
reanimte, counter,(t1)
exhume, counter,(T2)
exhume, counter (T3)
Reanimate, counter (T3)
reanimate, resolves (t4)

During the prerelease of MBS I had an epic game against the I have 5+ bombs in my deck and probably into all of them.

Board state: 1 flier each.
I play: massacre worm, he responds, nuke down my flier.
both players discard: I discard a counter and he discards a sword of feast and famine.
He destroys my worm,
I play some 3/3 golems, he destroys my golems, he has more removal, and plays myr battlesphere.
I steal his myr battlesphere and counter his 4/4 flier he plays in his turn.
My turn, draw, do nothing, and he plays hoard-smelter dragon.
yeah..dead draw. taken a 14 life-swing.
draw removal for his dragon, he plays sunblast angel.
something went wrong here.

I enjoyed this game because all we did was slamming bombs at each other. he just had more O.o

[Sea R Hill]

Legacy Side event of GP Paris last WE.

I sit down for 1st round and on my left there is a guy that says:

"This i my first legacy tourney"

Then he took an unsleeved deck out of his bag.

He won the toss and went Forest, Llanowar elves. The rest of his hand looks like this:

http://img545.imageshack.us/img545/4138/dsc02134d.jpg (http://img545.imageshack.us/i/dsc02134d.jpg/)


His opponent went for Basalt Monolith, Power artifact, Staff of Domination.

I asked him "are you havin' fun for your first tournament?".

He answered me this was not his first tournament, only his first legacy tournament.

He must have played limited in 1995, I guess.

[practical joke]

That mammoth is going to be 2011's new secret legacy tech!

[jandax]

4 way EDH game - guy to my left plays Biorythme wtih him having more dudes than anyone else, and me Rout at instant speed. Probably one of those you-had-to-be-there funny moments

biorythm is one of the lamest cards imaginable in EDH, hence it's on the banned list.

Poor guy, hope he doesn't quit magic when he got metalworker-comboed out. :(

[rocketrae21]

In a vintage tournament I end up getting paired against my teammate. We both need to win to stay in prizes and are both playing Gush (back when it was broken). About two turns in I combo out and mill roughly 40 cards from his deck. He responds with "I'm just going to resolve my Psychatog thats in my deck, Time Walk and beat you." Next turn he drew the Tog, cast it, and time walk. I just walked off.

Also in the same tournament. My friend cast Merchant Scroll, proceeded to grab Tinker. The opponent allowed it, but then just proceeded to kill my friend the next turn.

No kidding, hence the ending of that game lol

[betterthenandrew]

I was playing 43 lands at GP Columbus. Its game 2 against dredge he mulls to 5 on the play and turn 0s a leyline of the void.

t1: He has not t1 play, I go forest, exploration, Mishra's factory
t2: Still no play for him, I have Factory, factory, Smash for 4
t3: Land, Land, smash for 6
t4: He finally draws city of brass, so drops a Putrid Imp. I bash for 6 again (putting him to 3) and drop a port and another land.
t5: Port his city (he takes 1). He discards and dredges some, makes a bunch of zombies, so I can't really bash.
t6: I port his city, he can't get through nearly enough because of all my factories.
t7: I port his city again, and he is dead.

Only time I've killed with Lands without removing a t0 leyline. Probably my favorite game ever. Apparently he wasn't even mulling just to the leyline, the first hands were all bad

[MWR]

I'm not sure it belongs here, but here goes:

Back in the day, we played 250 cards multiplayer Highlander decks. Chaotic format, games lasted for hours due to all the wraths played by everyone. I was the noob in the group and played a cool, easy-to-pilot (no tutors) Mono-Red deck built by a friend for me. So my deck was clearly underpowered in comparison, but in multiplayer this can be an advantage.

A friend had Library of Alexandria and drew a lot of cards, but I didn't use my Wasteland. Everybody thought I'm the noob who doesn't understand, but I responded I need the mana. Luckily, I was seen as the weakest player, so everybody just attacked someone else all the time. On my turn, I counted my mana and life totals and announced Fireball (or similar) for Player A's life total. Everybody laughed, but with my remaining two mana I announced "Fork targeting Player B" (thanks Wasteland for making it exactly the amount I needed). Player C laughed hard and asked whether I have mana open. I denied and he cheered due to his almost certain win. Unfortunately, he was at 4 life and my last card in hand was Fireblast.

Hard to describe, but we agreed it was an awesome game-ending.

[Bayentethene]

In high school, I had a friend with a supremely irritating monobrown deck that abused Nevinyrral's Disc + Darksteel Forge to blow up everyone else's world every turn.

And then I opened an Altar's Light in a booster...

Oh, that was a satisfying day. I even had a white deck built to use it. :)

[thecrav]

Playing LSV in vintage at GP Houston. I've scouted him out and know he's playing Steel City Vault. I'm playing 5 color staxx.

I go first and drop Workshop + Mox > Smokestack and Lotus > Tanglewire and say go.

He drops his hand on the mat and says "I have to get Black Lotus to win." Flips the top card of the deck... Lotus :(


Playing the same staxx deck against a friend who's playtesting oath. With smokestack tricks, I get to Oath. I proceed to dump half my deck in my yard and land my third welder. For the next 50 minutes, I bring wires in and out so that there's never less than 11 things tapped down.
He has a Darksteel that I can't swing past and has dumped all his other creatures in the yard. My only out in the whole deck is STP. I pull it as the second to last card in the deck. He scoops and tells me he's never playing magic again.

[Pastorofmuppets]

I once was in a triple M10 draft where a guy had a foil Baneslayer with Firebreathing like every game. He was playing blue pretty much exclusively for Ponder, I'm pretty sure.
And I still won. Man, I love Blinding Mage/Royal Assassin.

[JustPAT4]

This past September I was playing Sneak Attack with Show and Tell vs. ThopterSword Combo in a tourny with 80+ players.

Game 2 He plays turn 1 Needle naming Sneak Attack and I played turn 2 Blood Moon, he Forced, I Forced back, he E-Tutors for Ensnaring Bridge and Blood Moon resolves. Next turn he plays Ensnaring Bridge. My only outs are my Show and Tell into Woodfall Primus. I spent 5 turns crafting a hand with double force backup after Intiutioning for X3 Show and Tell. Cast S&T, he plays Counterspell, I Force, He Forces back, I Force back again, he shrugs, and I reveal Primus, he reveals Moat. I decide to blow up the Bridge. 5 turns later after discarding Emrakul so I can Intuition for Show and Tell again, I cast Show and Tell with another Primus in hand. He lets this one resolve oddly enough and then reveals Humility off of SnT which I immediately destroy with my Primus. He calls a judge (but yes I can nab Humility with Primus since they came into play simultaneously off of the same SnT). About 10 turns later after discarding another Emrakul so I could recycle forces, Show and Tells, and Intuitions, I have SnT plus Primus with double Force backup again. I cast Show and Tell he plays Counterspell, I Force, he Forces back, I Force back again (He flips out because It's the fifth Force of Will I cast in the game) I reveal Primus, he reveals...flooded strand... I blow up the Moat and the treefolk finish him off.

The final game-state was pretty ridiculous...3 Woodfall Primi on board in a competitive legacy game? Really? Also casting Force of Will 5 times made me the happiest.

Also the amount of FBombs we both dropped was pretty epic. Surrounding prudes called judges on us twice in a failed attempt to get us to clean up our speech.

[Kove]

I keep hearing about my lucky topdeck-win every time I play against this guy at our local shop. He's very pleasant to play against and took the loss really well though. :)

It was my Red Death against his B/W weenie deck running vials, equipment and lots of removal.
I won game one and he took game two.

Game three was long but ended up looking really grim for me. I'm at 4 life and he's at 6. He has three creatures down and I have none. A Serra Avenger, a 2/2 I cannot remember and a Tidehollow Sculler who has stolen a Chain Lightning from me. I had nothing relevant in hand and was about to draw my last card - a removal spell wouldn't save me as he'd have lethal on the board anyway; same with me drawing a blocker. I couldn't think of anything that'd save me in that situation so I was about to just concede at that point but I decided to draw the card anyway to see what it was ... And so I did and found out/was reminded that I had sideboarded in a Smash to Smithereens. Boom!
Couldn't have been timed any better although I felt really bad about pulling off a topdeck like that but I guess it's a part of the game.

But as I said, he took it really well and we've had a lot of laughs about it.

I have a good one from a little bit ago. I was playing 43 lands and a friend of mine knows I play it quite a bit and had main decked 4 Price of Progress just to take me out. Game 1, he does exactly that. Game 2 I go first and drop Aegis of Honor. He just looks at me and says "dick" and shows me his hand of all 4 POP's.

Last night, I decided to try out GW Zenith Order and played at my LGS. I am paired against Gamekeeper Combo in the third round, which I'm up in the air about. Basically, the matchup comes down to whether I have access to KOTR/Karakas when he goes off, and if I can protect them through all the removal/discard. I wind up taking Game 1 on the back of a Sylvan Library getting me back in the game, and he goes off blind with a Knight in the play. I calmly activate it, find a Karakas, and point to his Emrakul. He's a little shocked that there's a MD Karakas, and goes to sideboard.

In similar fashion, he goes off, with me holding Enlightened Tutor and Horizon Canopy, with a Tarmogoyf and Noble Hierarch in play. I'm planning on finding an Oblivion Ring with the Enlightened Tutor EOT to deal with the Emrakul. He flips... Progenitus. Shit. Turns out he boarded out his Emrakul for Progenitus. I get a little flustered, and I almost Enlightened Tutor for Sylvan Library to help me dig for answers, but I realize the only out is my own Natural Order. Either way, it's going to be ugly. I set up 4 mana on my turn... and straight Nassif-style a Natural Order. Goyf winds up taking the match :laugh:

Back before I got into playing competitive I had a Fun Battle of wits/Soramaro Hand control deck.

Was playing against a friend of mine I managed to drop an Akroma's Memorial and a Soramaro I chose not to swing. I was playing against a Rakdos deck. had about 14 cards in hand, had 8 plains, 8 Islands on the field.. On his turn he plays Rakdos Hoping to race me I think he said.
Back to my turn, I tap all of my plains, take two mana from it to use Plow Through Reito, returning all of the plains to my hand. Use 4 of the floating mana to use Soramaro to bounce a island to my hand, draw a card. Use the last two, and two of the islands, to activate soramaro again, bouncing another Island, Drawing two cards off of the soramaro ability.

Soramaro power toughness math

14/14 after playing Soramaro and memorial
Draw a card on my turn, 15/15
Play Plow Through Reito 14/14
Return 8 Plains 22/22+8/+8
Return two Islands 24/24+8/+8
Draw two from Soramaro Ability 26/26 +8/+8

Final Power Toughness, 34/34 with Flying, First Strike, Vigilance, Haste, Trample, Pro Red, and Pro Black, against a Rakdos Black/Red Deck.

I swing.

He literally threw his D20 at me.

I guess it was one of those times you had to have been there to have really found it amazing.

Last night we played a 2 vs 2 casual game with 2HG rules (shared life etc.). We all played casual fundecks and used a pile of 30 planes from the Planechase sets. It was the first time I played with them and it was pretty funny. We used one pile for all players and nobody knew what the planes contained, so it was all pretty random and new.

Well, after playing Mind Funeral twice on one head and attack with Nemes of Reason his deck shrunk to less than 20 cards. We had a pretty good board position and we're almost certain to win, also because of mana screw of the other opponent. But, he had established some board presence by using some harrow's and had a Baloth Woodcrasher in play. In their turn they planeswalked to some plane which said that all instant and sorcery cards have flashback. Since we calculated that the milled opponent had less than 4 lands in his library left, a flashbacked mind funeral would certainly win the game. So their only option was to take another turn by rolling the chaos symbol, but guy with the baloth didn't want to do that. Instead he dropped land, flashed back Harrow twice, casted Lure on the Baloth, Primal bellow and kicked Vines of Vastwood. We we're facing a 34/34 Trample which needed to be blocked by each possible creature. Luckily for us I had a few walls and other blockers, but he managed to clear our board pretty well (except for the nemesis) and kicked us from 29 to 16 life. After that they rolled the plane dice and planeswalked, removing the option of flashbacking the mind funeral. Still the game was in our favor so no worries. I attacked with Nemesis of reason and for the fun of it rolled the dice. I planeswalked to a plane which said: At the beginning of your upkeep, put the top 10 cards of your library in your graveyard. My friend read the card and was like: "SERIOUSLY!! WTF!" Pretty awesome ending of the game. He had only 6 cards left in his library, so he'd die as soon as we passed the turn. Pretty cool coincidence that we showed off all these planes. We didn't even know they excisted. Random effects can be so cool.

Vintage, around 2008.

I'm playing Ichorid, with lands for blue card draw like (brekthrough).

I mull to one, on the draw, and win on the first turn.

I kept Black Lotus, draw Breakthrough, cast Breakthrough for X=1, discard two Golgari-Grave Troll and keep another Breakthrough, cast Breakthrough for X = 0, dredge some sick shit , Dread Return for Cephalid Sage, dredge some more sick shit, Dread Return for Flame Kin-Zealot.

Too bad it was not in a tournament.

I had my fair share of dredge fun. Here's a first turn I had during a tournament against TPS:
I played Bazaar, LED, crack LED for UUU, discard Fatestitcher and Golgari Gravetroll, Tap Bazaar, Dredge Golgari Gravetroll, Unearth Fatestitcher, Untap Bazaar, Chain into 2 more fatestitchers, hit Moebas/bridges/cabal therapies, create enough zombies to cast Dread Return, Dread Return Sharuum, The Hegemon and target Sharuum, The Hegemon, gaining infinite zombies in the process, dread return Altar of Dementia and mill my opponent's deck for the win.

A casual game I played went like this on the play:
Open with Leyline of the Void, Dark Ritual Dark Ritual Ill-Gotten gains. Followed by a turn 2 Shahrazad.

Something that happened today with my freak deck in a tournament. I keep a dubious hand with two Forests and some 3cc drops.

He starts with Taiga, Kird Ape, go.
I draw (no land), play Forest, go.
He draws, attacks for 2, plays a land, go.
I draw a so lucky Veteran Explorer, I play it and the other Forest, go.
He draws, attacks, I chumpblock, both search, I get a Mountain and a Plains. He drops a Knight of the Reliquary and a Grim Lavamancer and passes.
I draw (no land), I play Academy Rector, go.
He draws, attacks with both cratures, I chumpblock the Knight, take 2 and search Wild Pair. He passes.

I draw, again no lands and I just have :r::g::g::w: available, but at least there's a Wild Pair. I spend :g::w: and drop Stoneforge Mystic, I get a random equipment and Eternal Witness, who gets the Veteran Explorer back. I cast it, search Fierce Empath, who searches Greater Gargadon, and I suspend it. I sacrifice Veteran Explorer, get another Forest and another Plains, cast another Stoneforge Mystic, and get another random equipment and Academy Rector. I pass.

When he attacks, I make some chumpblocks and sacrifice Academy Rector to get Pattern of Rebirth attached to a chumpblocker, who in time is sacrificed to search Emrakul. He drops another Knight of the Reliquary and passes.

I draw a land, play it, activate Stoneforge Mystic to drop a Sword of Fire and Ice, I equip it to Emrakul, and attack. Since he's at 18 life, that single attack will be game over unless he does something. He casts Lightning Helix on me, going to 21, then sacrifices Kird Ape and five lands, leaving the Lavamancer, the Knights and a red dual, then goes down to 4 life. I choose to have the Sword deal 2 damage to the Lavamancer, who in response deals 2 damage to me. Then there are a pair of 6/6 Knights that will probably attack because there's nothing better to do, so to avoid nasty surprises I drop Imperial Recruiter and get a Veteran Explorer to my hand and a Deranged Hermit straight to the battlefield via Wild Pair.

I've made a miserable 2-5 in the tournament, but at least I have this brief moment of glory to be remembered.

Last weekend at the LGS.

Game 3 in round 1, I'm playing against Merfolk.

I start Swamp -> Thoughtseize... Take Force, see no other countermagic...

He plays Island, pass

I play land, lotus petal, Show and Tell...

He sneaks in a merfolk.. I sneak in...

Nefarious Lich.... Cast nourishing shoal pitching an autochthon wurm, drew 15 cards, then did it again, then cast petal, dark ritual, sickening dreams with x = 20.

It was a good day.

My favorite games ever were when I played Reanimator before Mystical Tutor got banned. Before the tournament, there was this guy who kept talking shit about how amazing his Combo Elves deck was and how he had never lost a match or even a single game. He firmly believed that Combo Elves was the best deck in the format. Guess who I got paired up against first round?

I won the roll and led with Swamp, Dark Ritual, Entomb for Iona, Exhume. I name green and we were off to game 2 following a few pissed off comments made by my opponent. He was like, "I bet you can't do it again. That was such a fluke."
He went first the second game and led with Forest into Llanowar Elves. I fetch for an Underground Sea, Entomb Iona, Lotus Petal, Reanimate.
I say, "I guess your deck isn't that good after all."
He picks it up, spikes it at me and storms out the front door. We never saw that guy again.

[woremak]

Playing in an extended ptq for top 8 with Hypergenesis.
My opponent scouted, talks some shit about how terrible the deck is, etc.
I begin with Gemstone Caverns, removing Violent Outbirst. He goes Forest, Llanowar Elves.
I Reflecting Pool, remove Simian Spirit Guide, Violent Outbirst.
He dumps three dudes into play.
I drop Progenitus and Sakashima the Impostor.

[Elfrago]

I once was in a triple M10 draft where a guy had a foil Baneslayer with Firebreathing like every game. He was playing blue pretty much exclusively for Ponder, I'm pretty sure.
And I still won. Man, I love Blinding Mage/Royal Assassin.

Not a surprise, Firebreathing blows hard and splashing for ponder is awful.

Type 4 stack, but our version isnt the same as the other poster.

Unlimited mana, but only 1 spell per turn. We decided to add some global affects to the game to spice it up, we'd decide on a number based on players and randomly choose out of 15-20 Global Enchantments we had.

Such as Hive Mind, Restore Balance (would roll a die on the first persons turn, 6 it would go off), Timesifter, etc etc.


Hive mind in a 5 person game where you can only cast 1 spell a turn. . .made for a lot of fun stacks. We eventually had to get out paper to write down the stacks so we could make sense of them.

When I was first getting interested in competitive legacy, I went to a 40ish player 25$ legacy event. I borrowed some duels and used a janky homebrew extended deck that won by forcing both players to draw a poop ton of cards with howling mine, incendiary command, while underworld dreams and spiteful visions were on the board and then kept the board harmless with fog effects and wraths.

Not knowing what a legacy meta even looked like and using an extended deck (a really bad one at that), I somehow managed to win round 1 vs what I know was Eva Green (he was PISSED that my pile of crap beat his 600$ deck).

Anyways, in round two when I got pair against combo elves. Game one he comboed off like turn turn 3 and grapeshotted me. Game two I managed to orims chant (borrowed those too haha) him after his glimpses and keep the board clear with wraths long enough to win. So now its round three and hes feeling pretty confident that he can beat my terrible deck, I let him know that i was pretty sure he could beat me too. I have a terrible hand and he turn 4 he goes to combo off, he glimpse with a small hand and plays some green men but runs out of gas before too long so he summoner pacts for some big guy (I don't remember what it was) but he has alot more than 20 damage that would be coming at me next turn. He passes, I untap drop a land and wrath of god and pass the turn. He untaps, upkeep goes to pay for the summon pacts and realizes he only has two lands and no elves... The look on his face was priceless!

Me playing ANT against my friend playing DDFT online. Game-2. I included a special surprise for our inevitable matchup this time.
I open turn-1 extract removing tendrils.
He opens t1 land,rit,duress your ToA, duress your IGG, petal, led, IT, canonist..

[Bignasty197]

Last night, I was playing NO Bant against my friend's combo Elves deck. We were mainly just playing postboard games for testing, so I had Misdirection in on the draw(which he didn't know about). He plays Glimpse and asks if I have Force of Will. I tell him no and that he needs to play it out. He proceeds to combo off into a huge Banefire for about 40 damage or so and asks if that was game but I Misdirection back at him.

[Offler]

Two headed giant.

Opponnent finishes his combo.

Crypt champion/Saffi with Sek'Kuar, Deathkeeper and annouces he creates a lot of tokens with haste.

I inspect Crypt champion and say that he has no way how to sacrifice him before current turn ends. So he passes turn.

I play Mind over Matter, discard card to untap Lotus vale, Play Recall getting from grave Savor the moment.

another three lands tapped (6 mana total in pool) Arcanis being played from hand, another card discarded to untap lotus vale, 3 mana used for Savor to give free turn without untap. Combo completed...

Opponents already put their decks into boxes and annouce that they had Krosan Grip on hand and enough mana to play it.

Honestly I dont believe a word :D
